In a landmark collaboration aimed at enhancing industry-ready education for engineering students, IPD Colombo (Pvt) Ltd. has partnered with the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) to launch the first-ever IPD Power Systems Laboratory at the SLIIT Malabe campus. 
The facility, inaugurated following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on April 30th,  officially opened on May 28th, providing cutting-edge training and hands-on experience in switchgear and power systems to hundreds of Electrical Engineering undergraduates.
This strategic initiative marks a significant milestone in IPD Colombo’s mission to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry application. 
Registered under the Colombo Port City project, IPD Colombo is a recognized leader in exporting knowledge and technical expertise. The company’s success is underpinned by its commitment to employee development, social impact, and creating global opportunities for Sri Lankan engineers.
The new Power Systems Laboratory at SLIIT is part of a broader vision led by IPD Colombo Chairman Mohamed Yoosuff. Discussions are also underway to expand the initiative by hosting workshops that will welcome Electrical Engineering students from universities across the country.
In parallel, IPD Colombo continues to foster a culture of holistic growth—offering leadership and communication training, and encouraging employee engagement through sports and wellness activities such as cricket, badminton, swimming, and chess.
